Beautiful big updated kitchen, huge porch to sit on, have a big family and we all had a blast staying here. You can use the kayaks, beach chairs, beach towels, driveway... Everything was met far beyond my expectations. The owners are extremely nice and attentive and the place is exceptionally cared for and clean. A MUST to stay in if visiting the Northshore and want the beach house experience!! I highly recommend staying here.

Location decks and…read moretoilets The Eagle House Motel is a pleasant and quaint little place just a few steps from the center of Rockport. Can't ask for a nicer location, close to be convenient yet still quiet and peaceful. The room we had was on the small side but nicely decorated with a nautical theme and small fridge, microwave and TV. Nothing fancy but just want we wanted. The motel is one of those rambling kind of places with lots of different decks that offer nice views of the town. A pleasant patio is in the back and has a little fountain that adds a rustic feel. The only problems we encountered was that the shower was really small. Probably the smallest shower enclosure I have ever been in. Probably would be tough for a really fleshy type person to get in. Another problem was that the toilet broke the last day we were there. it's obvious the plumbing is old and these things happen. I had to take the top off the tank and pull the chain inside by hand. No real big deal but playing around with toilets isn't one of the things I enjoy while traveling. I didn't see any staff around and we were about to leave so I didn't bother to look for help. This is a lovely and quaint motel, reasonably priced and with a great location. A cool place to stay if you are willing to possibly deal with some mischievous plumbing.

The Cove is a great option for staying in Rockport. It's a4+ rating in my book…read more I've enjoyed Front beach for 60+ years so staying directly across the street on a beautiful 2 day getaway couldn't be beat! We stayed in Rm 3, booked last minute and all that was available. Smart checkin is awesome and efficient. The room while small, was inviting, clean comfortable! AC was super, bed firm but comfy and water pressure great! The outside deck overlooking Front beach was perfect on a clear sunny August day! In season, beer and wine are offered. Nice Adirondack chairs, a few high top tables and other seating ida available to enjoy the view, eat your takeout, sip your coffee or beverage while Enjoying a relaxing view. Parking is a short walk away! Room has a micro, small fridge and kuerig. We will definitely return to enjoy the Cove in the future.

I have very mixed feelings about this experience. I have never stayed somewhere like this before…read more This is more of a strange mash up of Airbnb meets hotel/inn. Upon arrival we realized there is not a single human working there. We had to park down the street and walk with our bags. Find the side door, enter a code, climb the stairs, enter another code to get into our room. The room (8) was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The sink in the bathroom was so insanely small it was impossible to use it without water splashing everywhere. This is a very old building and you could hear every sound in the surrounding rooms as well as every step of the people in the room above. The door to our room didn't go all the way to the floor, there was a large gap. Basically it felt like there was no privacy at all. This made the stay a bit uncomfortable but we only stayed one night and honestly, only for a couple of hours after an event and before check out so it was acceptable. If we were on vacation I would not have been happy with the experience. The location is great, walking distance to shops and restaurants and across from the beach but for almost $300 in December and all the issues I mentioned, I would not go back. They should really let you know before you book that you cannot park or even stop and unload near the hotel. That is so unusual and inconvenient! They only mention this in the informational email before check in/after you have booked & paid. They did mention that you have to climb stairs but not that they are so steep! My husband and I are relatively young and healthy but we had trouble carrying our bags/belongings up and down the stairs. I am not sure they meet the standards of building codes today, they may be grandfathered in since it's an old building. I climb stairs in my house everyday, those were treacherous with luggage! If you NEED a place to stay in Rockport and you don't want a "hotel" experience I guess this is a good choice.

I loved sitting on the patio in the morning having coffee and watching the sun rise and seeing the boats going by. The suite had its own entrance and it was easily accessible to the street. The guest house sits on a quiet residential street but it's also walking distance to all the shops, restaurants, front beach and a performance theater. I would definitely recommend the mooring stone guest house.

My wife and I picked this B&B at random while surfing the internet and looking for a place to crash outside of Boston. We lucked out more than I could have hoped for. Mooring Stone takes it name from a large stone in the front yard, the kind they would sink to the bottom of the port with a tree through it so boats could tie up...hence, mooring stone. Anywho... The house is a cute little gingerbread number, clean rooms, quiet, and far enough from the strip of shops and eateries in Rockport that you feel like you're in another town (even though it's just a couple of blocks away). The breakfast part of the equation is served in a salvaged coast guard radio instrument house in the back yard in the middle of a beautiful garden. What really makes the Mooring Stone stand out for me is the proprietor, Joyce. My wife and I hit it off with her within about two minutes of meeting her. She's a veritable fount of information about the area and can point tourists like us in the right direction. Moreover, we had so much fun chatting with her that we ended up spending almost two hours with her at breakfast (followed by a trip with her over to her house on the water at the port to see her renovation project). Sounds crazy, but we had more fun hanging out with her and talking about old New England houses than walking around town. I'm hoping that for our next trip to Boston we eschew staying in town and head back to visit this inn.

Best with apps that can give you the lowest price. I found calling the hotel first but checked on line and it was less expensive! One thing might be beneficial if their Signs on the property were much larger and possibly lite at night even with GPS I PASSED BY IT... and had to turn around. With this place among the trees and shrubs it would help with much better signage and lights. Color scheme is Nautical and pleasing to the eye. Area for gathering is quaint but could use abit of fresh flowers since it's spring and the dining area could use the same bright and fresh flowers it might cost more for this Inn but for the value your paying for a night could bolster its appeal much more....one can't alone take in the account visitors will come cause of the location it needs to be first rate and make it more curb appeal and when entering the register counter needs a vase of bright fresh flowers or lots of green plants. I WOULD NOT WASTE 1/2 of FRONT DESK COUNTER SELLING CANDLES FOR ANOTHER COMPANY! Focus on your own property and not promoting their merchandise! You are not a souvenir shop! The out door rooms by the entrance is like an old motel from the 1960's it lacks a welcome Matt of maybe a wreath on the doors, large pots scattered around with over flowing cascading flowers even those solar lights around the paved asphalt parking. Even small Christmas white lights around the windows outside from the sitting area... add more seaside items besides 10 Booklets fanned out on the coffee table. Imagination will truly make your stay much more memorable! ****It is nice but OUTDATED, Needs to update the front entrance ALOT, Needs more live flowers and plants in and around the property to stand out. Most important OUTSIDE LIGHTS, LARGER SIGNAGE! But I'm sure the owners are aware of its previous reviews which can be read.****
